The Stoic: Sloane projects this image, knowing that maintaining proper command discipline is necessary to prevent her crew from panicking, especially in as dire a situation as Endor.

comment
Know When to Fold Them: As the battle starts to turn against the Imperials, Sloane orders a hyperspace jump calculated to Annaj, as it's the likely destination for a rebel retreat. However, once they lose communications with the Endor garrison, the Death Star II overbridge, and the Emperor's throne room, she realizes the battle is lost and recalls all TIE Fighters before ordering the retreat after it explodes.

Smug Snake: Colonel Ottkreg, Sloane's Political Officer. She ends up shooting him when he becomes annoying one too many times (specifically, thinking the rebels are retreating when they're actually getting clear of the doomed Death Star II).

Asshole Victim: ISB Colonel Emarr Ottkreg is executed by Sloane as she gives the order for the Imperial fleet to retreat from Endor in order to prevent him from interfering with her command. Since he is from the ISB, nobody cares.

You Are in Command Now: With the death of Admiral Piett and the destruction of the Executor, as well as sporadic communications from the Death Star II, Sloane finds herself to be the ranking officer and so orders the fleet's withdrawal.
